  • next you will call me a russian bot, you seem to be so fond of the liberal rhetoric. you can't claim to be championing a cause for society's lowest while participating in hegemonic behavior that directly causes their continued exclusion from all parts of life, unless it is not a part of your itinerary to begin with. engels called this social murder, and it's what you do when you excuse this behavior. you hold contradictory ideas about covid risk, disability and working class organization and you do not want to reckon with them. does mao not tell us to ruthlessly criticize and correct incorrect behavior in our cadre? I see a whole lot of it in my time organizing in real life and am subject to plenty of bleating with similar tone to yours online. covid action (or inaction, as it were) is a working class matter, and it is a dire mistake to think and act otherwise, fundamental even. these are simple questions. why don't you answer them?



  • They don’t have to. We make below poverty wages and still somehow find a way to wear a mask (and a proper one!) every time we are outside our home because we actually don’t have a choice. I fuck around with this virus and I die. So we’re not fucking around with this virus as long as we have a roof over our heads, and we fucking barely have that. My wife works four days a week and is out of the home for 12 hours, and she wears an n95 the entire shift and commute to/from.

    We offer her coworkers from our own supply of masks and let them know that covid is still a problem and they refuse. Every time. She eats outside in a fucking back alley by the dumpster because they will not mask themselves or filter the air in the building for her to unmask for thirty minutes a day without risk. I have sympathy for the homeless, children, and animals who actually don’t get a choice; I do not have sympathy for these people. It’s not a matter of “can’t” for an overwhelming majority of even people in financially precarious situations exactly like us, because we literally are offering to give them our shit and they say no. They won’t do it. We have barked up this tree every fucking day for close to five years. I know exactly what they “can” do, because I work with orgs in my city to provide outreach and supply masks to anyone who wants them for no charge. They don’t want them. No one wants them, except for people like us who have to care, and a very very small minority of others, and I’m tired of making excuses for the rest of them. It is just negligence.








  • This shit genuinely about to be the last straw for me. 600 pages of shit that should have started and ended with “cool he murked a ceo, next”

    there’s been a lot of shit the last few months that have made me raise my eyebrows but everyone now seemingly making the hill they die on (very aggressively!!!) defending this weird libertarian tech bro who shot a ceo as their working class hero ride or die is so incredibly Not It I swear to god I am losing my mind trying to remain here

    “what’s tailism lmao nerds” these are my western leftists
